Sparkle Kitchen — sandwich-on-a-stick

Did you know that this week’s At Home with Martin & Sylvia story was entirely inspired by this link from Pinterest? (Thanks to subscriber Heather R!) It was! I spied the image and said to David “that looks like a perfect Martin & Sylvia lunch: sandwich-on-a-stick!”

And so the At Home with Martin & Sylvia story “Sticks” was born. In this story, everything the brother & sister do has to involve sticks.

After several minutes Momma finally came outside with a big tray. Sylvia called, “What is the lunch?”

“Sandwich sticks,” said Momma proudly as she entered the forest. Martin and Sylvia came out of their stick house to investigate.

“What is a sandwich stick?” asked Martin with a smile. He peeked in the tray.

Momma demonstrated, “Sandwiches on a stick – see? Here is the bread, the meat, the vegetables – and you can squirt the mustard over the top.”

Brother and sister investigated, and sure enough, there were all the ingredients of sandwiches but skewered on a thin stick – like a kabob. They laughed and licked their lips.
